'shibafu table'

french-born and tokyo-based designer emmanuelle moureaux has created the 'shibafu table'.
56 slender colored acrylic sticks are randomly arranged into a piece of transparent acrylic,
creating an aesthetic, reminiscent of a colorful shibafu or lawn. the sticks support
the transparent acrylic panel, while refracting and reflecting light as if they were soaking under water.
the colored sticks appear and disappear, and even seem to bend at times depending on the angle
at which you view them.


'stick chair'

the starting point for the 'stick chair' comes for the pick-up sticks game 'mikado',
which originated in europe. 7 round wooden sticks are placed obliquely in order to properly
support the heavy piece of acrylic which forms the seat. although the chair does not look stable,
the arrangement of the sticks provides a structural balance. visually, an 'unbalanced balance'.
